100 years ago the Sonderbund Exhibition in Cologne managed a revolutionary overview of modern art. About 650 works of art presented a range from Postimpressionism to German Expressionism, including 130 pictures by van Gogh, 32 by Munch, others by Cézanne, Gauguin and Picasso. On the occasion of the jubilee the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum reminds of the contents and focus, as well as the importance of the exhibition. For these purposes they have organized more than 100 works, which where already exhibited in 1912.
